Located at the crossroads between the Mediteranean and Central Europe and neighbourghing Italy, Croatia stretches from the very edgeof the Southern Alps to the Adriatic sea. From this pivotal location stems a diversity of climates and landscapes which offer the traveller a wealth of timeless pleasures.
The Istrie and Quarnero regions in the North and North-west with their pristine forests watered by mountain streams and beguilling waterfalls allow travellers to enjoy wonderful hiking and adventure trails as well as tranquil spas in majestic surroundings.
Croatia's 4000kms of coastline in Central and South Dalmatia with its rocky coves and pine-fringed beaches boasts over 1180 islands and combines lively beach resorts with carefully maintained natural parcs. Sailing and diving are amongst the many attractions afforded by the crystal clear waters and bustling marinas of the Adriatic coastline.
Croatia's cultural heritage has been strongly influenced by successive invasions and emerges during holidays and festivals when cities centers throbbing with nightlife amid ancient Roman ruins fill with colourful dancers in traditional costumes. Croatia's food and style reflect this mixture of central European identity with Italian devotion to the good life.
A word of advice from Lagrange: Some resorts will only accept payment in euros so make sure you have both kunas and euros.
